TWO YFC members from North Wales will be heading to this month’s Rural Youth Europe Autumn Seminar in Gersau, Switzerland.

Gerallt Hughes, of Penmynydd YFC, Anglesey, and Clwyd Jones, from Nantglyn YFC, will be representing the national federation at an event which will focus on green issues.

Both work on their family farms and both are travelling with the YFC for the first time. Gerallt, also a self-employed contractor, wants to learn more about environmental protection, while Clwyd, a contact shearer, said travel was in the blood.

He said: “My parents and grandfather gained a wealth of experiences through their study tours and now I want to experience different lifestyles myself.”
